Super Junior(Eunhae)- Oppa Oppa MV+translation+review

image credit: koreaboo

SM has released a new Super Junior sub-group consisting of Eunhyuk and Donghae!
Now, I don't know about you guys but since the sub-group includes one of the moderator's (ME!!) bias in super junior- 
and one of the best dancer's we have ever seen-
it was definitely something we'd check out :D

REVIEW
The song does not have an MV as such. The official MV is actually a performance by the duo in Super Show 4. So all you see is them dancing and fooling around. Not that i am complaining! I mean you get too see them dancing and fooling around on a stage rather than in a studio. So, I guess its not that bad!
Other than the official one, there is a cute one directed by Shindong. :D
The choreography of this song is really fun and i personally love it!
The song itself  has a very retro feel to it and is the perfect song to dance to if you are in the mood to just have some fun :D I have come to love the flashy suits that they wear when the perform the song! It fits the song and the dance really well and both Donghae and Eunkyuk manage to look good in it! I love the fact that they seem to have fun while performing the song!
All in all, this song = LOVE <3


Note: I decided to steer away from our usual way of reviewing songs for this one because its such a fun song and i did not want to spoil it by looking for faults. The lack of a proper(?) music video did not help either :P
It would be weird if I reviewed a performance, right?


TRANSLATION

Ah, Ah, 1, 2, 3, 4

Lucifer-SHINee (Japanese ver.) [Review+MV+Translation]

        Image Source: Seoulbeats

SO ITS FINALLY OUT! After what seems like a long (too long) wait, SHINee has finally released the MV for Lucifer! Now, I personally LOVE Lucifer. It was the first SHINee song I liked after 'Stand by me'. So how good is the Japanese version?

THE VIDEO
Its pretty much the same as the Korean one.In some shots they are dancing, in other ones they are walking or standing with the..err.. smoky (?) thing following them around. I guess that would be my only complaint. It's pretty much the same. The only thing different apart from the sets/costumes etc. would be that the..smoky thing is a lot more prominent in this one But i wouldn't necessarily say its a plus point.
Score: 4/5

THE DANCE
It was bloody awesome when I first saw it, it is STILL freaking awesome.

 Score: 5/5

THE LOOK
No more psychedelic clothes! Phew! What a relief! Taemin, Taemin.. WHAT were you thinking when you wore that leather hat? I mean, what in the name of God IS that?It does not make any sense whatsoever. And a whip? really, now.. WHY?! But some of the stuff they wear continue to be questionable (Onew's half purple half pink shirt and Key's checkered harem pants for example) proving that SM seriously needs to provide them with a better stylist.The makeup has been toned down, which is nice. Not that I complained in the Korean version, but you get my point.

Score: 2.5/5

THE SONG
The tune of the song is super catchy although in all honesty I prefer the Korean version better. For some reason the lyrics just does not sound right. And apparently I am not the only one as a lot of other people have stated the same too. Also, it has been said by a lot of Japanese-speaking shawols that their pronunciation was quite bad, but i will not comment on that since I don't speak Japanese.  But the basic meaning of the song has been kept the same.
Here is the translation. All due credits to Forevershiningshinee for this-
I cant even hide
No matter where I go

So what should I do?

I only have one wish. If you do not love me
Stop it.. Her Whisper is the lucifer

This love is meaningless
But we still force it to work out, in the end pain is all we left with
Being alone compared to now
I will still only love you

Cannot escape from the Lucifer
Your forces are as powerful as the Lucifer
Once fallen in love with you, reality is crushed
I want to stop all this

First time having met you
Is only a brief encounter but it felt like our relationship will last forever
Perhaps.

I cannot look into your eyes because retreat(?)
You will make me

Have decisions set, you kept making me go crazy
What you hope for is not perfection
Unable to speak out NONONONO no want me
It is getting weirder YOU YOU YOU YOU you are the focal point

Must have chosen the wrong path and yet have forgotten
Now I can only see you, what’s in front of me .. yeah
Miss you more and more

This love is meaningless
But we still force it to work out, in the end pain is all we left with
Being alone compared to now
I will still only love you

More and more annoyed more and more worried
Just because I cannot answer you

Other than worry
I am unable to carry out other tasks

{RAP}

Having my body and soul taken away, I can only wait
Near.. there’s no way to escape
Avoiding the stares Seemingly mystified by these words
Binding both hands Means tell me why

This love is meaningless
But we still force it to work out, in the end, pain is all we are left with
Being alone compared to now
I will still only love you

Just like a clown locked up in a glass castle
Now Let’s Go, let’s leave everything behind
~Let’s go, reach for freedom

Unable to draw the lines, everything ends up in pain only
Now Let’s Go~
~Let’s go, I dont want to do this anymore

This love is meaningless
But we still force it to work out, in the end pain is all we left with

Loverholic Robotronic
Loverholic Robotronic

Once our gaze have met, it is unable to escape from the clutches of Lucifer
Score: 3.5/5 (yes, I'm being partial. Because..it's Lucifer!)


TOTAL: 4+5+2.5+3.5= 15/20 :(

So in end all I have to say is, SM, you are slowly becoming so perfect at wasting talent, it should be considered an offence. Seriously. Spend some money on new sets, clothes, stylists and songs already! SHINee (and SUJU) deserves a lot more than recycled songs and costumes.

SHINee Fighting! Hope you have a Korean comeback soon! :)

P.S.- Jonghyun still manages to look hot despite the weird costumes SM gives him. True talent  right here I tell you :D

A-cha -- Super Junior [MV + Review]

            Image Source: allkpop

Super Junior has finally released the MV for 'A-cha', the title song for their follow-up album 'A-cha'. Now, as all of you can probably guess, I am a big, BIG fan of Super Junior and always will be. Which is why it pains me to say that I was so utterly disappointed :(
But before anything else, its just ironic that they decided to name the song 'A-cha' which in Hindi means 'good'. Yes, its actually a Korean word which means something like 'oops' but, whatever! its still ironic :P

THE VIDEO:
Perhaps the most disappointing Super Junior video ever. Or you know, the only one. The thing about the video is that it is not all that different from 'Sorry Sorry'.. or 'Bonamana'.. or 'Mr. Simple'. Basically pretty much all their title songs in the last few years. There is no storyline to the video at all. It just consists consists of random dancing and throwing attitude. And whats with all the mirror effects? It's quite bizarre.
The geometric patterns that form the set are quite loud, but okay. The lights could have been done away with though! It's one of SM's biggest bands, one would expect a better job from those who plan all this! On the whole, it offers nothing new in terms of packaging. And who can ever make out what the song is about from the video? There is no connection between the song and the video whatsoever! We thought it was a happy song until we read the translations!
So unless there is some deeper meaning hidden somewhere way, way down in the recesses of this video, it is pretty much pointless!
Score: 1.5/5 (only because it has Super Junior members in it)



THE DANCE:
As much as I dislike the MV, the dance is pretty freaking awesome!The steps are really good and were performed with the right amount of attitude. Of course, its Super Junior we are talking about here! :D The only thing that I missed would be the dance-only part that I had come to identify with Super Junior. I used to wait to see Eunhyuk, Donghae, Shindong and the other members blow me away with their dance. Oh well.
Score: 4/5


THE LOOK:
Let's not even go into the fact that it looks like Bonamana's identical twin (repackaged!):P! Sungmin's sweater? Atrocious! Heechul's clothes are great in the second cut (with the black jacket with red embroidery), but it just goes downhill from there on. Tacky accessories, badly cut clothes are all we get to see! Siwon's retelecasted shirtless look gets a thumbs-down for being around too often! And why on earth is Yesung dressed like a Spanish bull-fighter? :O Ryewook looks great in the blue shirt! and Donghae, I love you, i do, but the track pants and what appears to be a bedsheet is not cool, at all [But you're still hot ^-^]. Eunhyuk looks good, I am quite liking his blonde look now. But the fur cap stops you from looking perfect. :( and have I not seen something like that cap in another Super Junior video?! On a better note, Shindong buddy, getting hotter by the day, aren't we? Yes, Shindong's new look is the saving grace of the MV apart from Heenim's red and black appearance! Kyuhyun looks good too, as always! But wah! Leeteuk! looking hot as ever! :D Love your clothes as well!
Score: 3/5


THE SONG:
The song in itself does not have any faults as such. Although I had not liked it at first, the song has slowly grown on me. I love the chorus the most. Nobody can deny that it it's really catchy! The only problem I would have with the song is the fact that you have to listen to it carefully before you understand who is singing what part. Their voices sound really similar which is quite shocking since most members have voices which are completely different from that of the the others.
The song is basically about a guy singing about how the love of his life is not contributing to their relationship and asks her not to leave him. Although when you first hear the song, a non-Hangul speaker like me would think that the song doesn't have a meaning to it as such, on reading the translations I realized that the lyrics are actually quite nice.
Score: 4/5


GRAND TOTAL: 1.5+4.5+3+4=12.5/20 :'(


So in the end what we have is a catchy song with nice beats that would have done way better if only SM had been kind enough to give them a better MV and better clothes to some of the members(Sorry, but its true).
But no matter what, STILL LOVE SUPER JUNIOR!
Proud to be an E.L.F. :) only they are capable of saving such a video!


Super Junior Fighting! :)

Breakups Are So Like Me- Kim Jang Hoon with Kim Heechul [Review+MV+Translation]

image source: kpop7.com

Kim Heechul is the best! Even as he left for the army, he left us fans with a brilliant song to cherish for a while. 'Breakups are so like me' is his latest duet with Kim Jang Hoon and has been released on the same day as A-Cha.


THE VIDEO: 
Nicely shot. It has a behind-the-scenes feel to it and some parts seem to have been shot with a secret camera (though I guess it actually wasn't). The MV has a sepia-ish tinge throughout with soft oranges and reds being dominant. It has a great mix of funny, emotional and random that makes it a very enjoyable watch. Kim Jang Hoon keeps turning to the camera at 0:21, which is really adorable!
There are insertions of cute, affectionate scenes between the two, almost paternal in the way Joon looks at Heenim. The clips of Heenim cutting locks of his hair are moving. It reminds one of the fact that he is moving on to a new role for a while.
The MV takes us almost through the filming process, as if we are living those moments with the two of them. Neat editing and lovely visuals win it for me!
Score: 4.5/5


THE DANCE:
The choreography (whatever there is of it!) is really cute! Neither of them seem above 20 years of age! They are like two happy little boys frolicking around in a studio, having fun. Cutesy steps are a big bonus! Winner all the way!
Score: 5/5


THE LOOK:
The MV is shot in the studio, with some clips from the street and opposite Heechul's mirror. The effect is great, a visual delight! There is something written in Hangul on the wall by them which I'm sure is very meaningful, I just wish I could understand what it was! Heenim's sunglasses put the 'A' in AWESOME! So cool! Only he can pull that one off! The clothes are natty and awesome! This is one of Kim Heechul's best haircuts ever and Jang Hoon too has a rockstar haircut that he pulls off with ease. Winner again! Heenim doesn't even have to try, he can just look into the camera and smile and I'll give him a 20/20! :D
Score: 5/5


THE SONG:
The lyrics translation is not out yet, so forgive me for not being able to comment on the lyrics as I just know basic Hangul words like oppa, saranghae and all that regular K-drama stuff! So let's assume that the lyrics are really nice (that little thing in the beginning with 'Sorry Sorry' and 'Mr Simple' at 0:31 just won me over for good!) and move on to the rest of it. On the whole it's a nice, catchy song with happy, peppy beats. A song that you would love to hum along to, it's going straight into my favourite playlist! 
Score: 4.5/5 until the lyrics translation is released (just to avoid the Heechul-bias tag! :P Or I'd happily give a 5!)


GRAND TOTAL: 4.5+5+5+4.5= 19 :)


So we have a fantastic song here! Highly recommended! And we will be grateful to anyone who would kindly volunteer to translate the songs! :D Until next time, SHINee and SUJU fighting!


P.S- Yay to Heenim for bagging the first review on this site! Come back soon! Heechul fighting! Milky white skin Kim heechul! Saranghaeyo Kim Heechul!

UPDATE:

Yes, the lyrics translation is finally out! And it's super awesome! Well-deserving of the score we gave. Here's the translation. All due credits to pop!gasa for this:



Kim Jang Hoon, Super Junior's Kim Hee Chul
Collaboration to all my broken hearts
This is an "Age 12 And Over" project ye hear me- let's bring it on


I want to hold onto you
But eventually, I let you go
Hahahaha I will laugh
Hahahaha I will laugh as I let you go


Even if I say sorry sorry sorry sorry to you
I have a simple simple simple simple simple love
My love has stopped- I need to fight this alone tonight
Even if I'm lonely, I won't make it noticeable


* Love is leaving me- I forcefully try to laugh
I want to let you go composedly 
But I loved you more than life
You are so cool about this and I'm always clinging onto you
Breakups are so like me


I endured through this with pride alone
Though I begged, you still left
Hahahaha I will laugh
Hahahaha I will laugh as I let you go


Even if I worry worry worry worry inside
We will break it break it break it break it break it love
On the day you left, I cried all night
But in front of you, I hold it in


* repeat


People with a lot of anger
People who went through separation
People who are hard-hearted
Everyone, let us laugh


* repeat

Anyŏng haseyo!

image source: kpopwallpapers.info

Anyŏng haseyo! We are Shawols and ELFs from India. Okay, since this is the first post, forgive us for being very random! So we were basically looking for anything from Indian Shawols and ELFs and were absolutely horrified when we saw no blogs from India! This is an attempt to bring together SHINee and SUJU fans from India so that we can let them know that there are Shawols and ELFs who are absolutely crazy about them in India as well!

  They went to Japan, Russia, Paris, New York, Singapore, Thailand, etc.! But SM! We want them in India as well! You need to bring the K-Pop love to India!


  So anyway,  we will be posting anything and everything related to SHINee and Super Junior. That means anything we can get our hands on,that means news, photographs, photoshoots, latest releases, shows they have been on, performances, and so on and so forth! So Shawols and ELFs, let's send SHINee and Super Junior our love! :) SHINee and SUJU fighting!
